There is something about this case that bothers me and gotme thinking that there is more to it than what LE is willing to disclose. I mean this UID has a recognizable face and hewas found in an apartment not some remote location. The address 235 Henry St where this UID wasfound was not an abandon building in 1994. (Here is a link to the propertyinformation https://www.propertyshark.com/mason/Property/2320/233-235-Henry-St-New-York-NY-10002/)The building is located in New York City’s Chinatown where some of theresidents at the time consisted of undocumented immigrants from China whichleads me to think that there is a high possibility that this UID isundocumented and those who knew him were also undocumented themselves that’s whyno one has come forward.
But the thing that I find really odd and really wonder aboutis how LE was alerted to the body. Wasit by a roommate, a neighbor, or landlord? And then there are more questionslike was he a resident or if anyone recognized him? Why was he killed? These arejust a few of the questions that got me doing some research but unfortunately Iwas not able to come up with anything specifically related to this case.
However I did come across something that fits the timeline thatis pretty interesting and more of a theory. During 1993-1994 there was a rapist targeting young girls in theChinatown area who LE called the “Chinatown Rapist” (http://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/27/nyregion/police-say-rape-of-6-year-old-fits-pattern-of-other-assaults.html)and here is a sketch of the rapist who I think resembles the UID (http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/police-press-conference-on-chinatown-rapist-photo-of-news-photo/540071380?#police-press-conference-on-chinatown-rapist-photo-of-captain-gerald-picture-id540071380)
I also found this article about the Chinatown gangs at thetime was also looking for the rapist too. http://www.scmp.com/article/79919/triads-join-police-trail-chinatown-rapist
This description of the rapist matches up with the UID too.
“But therapist, who is between 20 and 30 and weighs around 64 kilograms (140lbs), isproving a hard man to catch. The skimpy moustache shown in the photofit mayhave been shaved, and his hair grown longer, officers say.”
I was not able to find any further information about theChinatown rapist after the article about the gangs from July 1994 and this UIDwas discovered in August 1994. I also found this website about a little girlthat was murdered in 1997 (http://missing87975.yuku.com/topic/2669/UNSOLVED-CHILD-MURDER-QUINRONG-WU#.WTm5hDExIpE)it mentions the Chinatown rapist not being caught. But I don’t think her murderwas related to the rapist. I was notable to find any more reported rapes by this rapist after July 1994.
It could all be a coincident but could it be possible thatthe gangs got to him first and people that knew this UID are too scared to sayanything because they knew why he was killed?
I hope I didn’t seem too crazy coming up with this theory.
